Er…Nintendo?

So Nintendo's new console is no longer called Revolution…which is a pity when you find out what the new name is: Wii. Pronounced "we".

Er…guys…honourable Nintendo masterminds…you do know what that means over here don't you? It's one of the more polite slang terms for urine, for anyone reading this who isn't from the UK. Now, while I'm amused by the seemingly limitless possibilities for taking the…er…Wii here, you have to admit it's a pretty terrible name. I can just picture the scene in Game this Christmas: "Hello, yes, I'd like to buy some Wii for my son, he's been pestering me for months", or on Christmas day: "Yes, Mummy and Daddy bought me a Wii for Christmas", and my personal favourite: "I'll be there in a minute Mum, I'm just playing with my Wii".

And if the console itself is named Wii, what does that make the controller?
